A twitter message, allegedly sent by Trayvon's older brother, suggests Trayvon was suspended for assaulting a bus driver.

Trayvon Martin was on a suspension from school when he was tragically shot last February 26th. His school, Dr. Micheal M. Krop Senoir High School, has not given any details. His family has also evaded the issue. According to the Kansas City Star, the length of the suspension was ten days. This suggests a very serious offense.

Once a story breaks, it takes 5 to 7 days for most Americans to get the 'rest of the story'. (1 to 3 if you hang around FR :-)

The innocent young teen is now known to be a gold-toothed, tattooed young wanna be gangsta known on his Facebook account as NO_LIMIT_NIGGA, who possibly was dealing in drugs. ( I'm not versed in the vernacular, but apparently the phrase 'no limit' has some kind of ties to gangs.)

His suspension for what was reported (at first) to be minor infraction turns out to be because he took a swing at a bus driver and he got sent to Daddy's house because of it.

Trayvon Martin was no saint, he was a punk who decided to tango with the wrong person.

The part that really burns me up is the guy who was just keeping an eye on his neighborhood is getting crucified by the same MSM that have been enabling the 'we're black and you owe us' mindset of Martin and people like him!

Examiner.com has an article referencing twitter traffic from 5 days before Trayvon's death from his brother, indicating the suspension was over assaulting a school bus driver. If so, and if this gets out, look for the whole incident to blow up.

Theres no hating on my part. Just commenting on the story as I understand it. But there is a whole bunch of assumption of Trayvons guilt, just simply because hes black and tall going on though.

You really do have a tough time grasping simple concepts, don't you? The "whole bunch of assumptions" are that Zimmerman is an evil white racist gun owner who killed an innocent black child, and it is Bush's fault.

According to published police records, Zimmerman lost the kid. He had no idea where the kid went....until said kid attacked him near his vehicle, got him to the ground and was beating him (as per on the record witness).

If the kid had lost Zimmerman, why not stay away and go home?

I repeat, it's not illegal to follow someone that is out of place in your neighborhood. It is illegal to attack someone when imminent threat to your safety is eliminated (meaning the kid had lost the guy, why go after him and beat him up?)

Equally important, “stand your ground” doesn’t even really seem to apply in this case because, accoding to all available evidence, Martin had Zimmerman on the ground, beating the living Hell out of him, and Zimmerman’s only choice was to discharge his weapoon or be killed or severely injured. IOW this is a standard self defense case, not a stand your ground one.

Yup . . . cultural marxism is a form of slow soft brainwashing that uses political correctness as its major tool.

In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible . . ." Yuri Bezmenov 1984

'All warfare is based primarily on the deception of an enemy. Fighting on a battlefield is the most primitive way of making war. There is no art higher than to destroy your enemy without a fightby SUBVERTING anything of value in the enemys country.' Sun Tzu Chinese philosopher 500 B.C.

“A principal may suspend a student from school for one (1) to ten (10) days for persistent disobedience and/or serious misconduct. Principals take this action when they have exhausted informal corrective strategies, or when they have at least considered those alternatives and rejected them as inappropriate in a given situation.

Outdoor suspension is appropriate under the following conditions:

 The students presence in school presents a physical danger to the student or others;

 A cooling off period is needed to relieve tensions and relieve pressure; and/or

 The student and/or parent/guardian refuse an alternative to suspension.

A suspended student has the right to request and obtain make-up assignments for the time he or she was suspended from school. It is the responsibility of the student to request make-up work for assignments missed due a suspension.

A suspended student is entitled to be notified of the reason for suspension and an opportunity to be heard. Parents/Guardians must be provided notice within 24 hours by U.S. mail. “

Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs to take a step back and let this thing play out. I think in the end, Zimmerman will be exhonerated, or not, but that won't diffuse the situation with the racist Black Panthers, Bowbama, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. But, let it play out!

If he really believed Martin was running for the back exit ofthe community, he could have got back to his truck by 7:14, told the dispatcher he would wait for the police response at the lower corner of Twin Trees Lane, driven there where he would of had a clear non-confrontational view of Martin's only routes to the exit.

Of course Martin would "disapper" into the house where he was staying and Zimmerman would look slightly foolish (instead of at a possible 5 to 10 at the Graybar Hotel)

"So - in his mind - he had already decided what Martin was up to - and he wasnt going to let him get away with it."

Not sure how you decided what he was thinking, but when Zimmerman was told he didn't need to follow - he was heading back to his SUV when he was jumped from behind by Travon & during the scuffle on the ground, Trayvon tried to take Zimmerman's gun. That's how he got shot in the chest.

Exactly. It's another nail in the coffin of freedom. When one group is protected and treated differently from another, freedom is lost. We already have a system where some groups are more equal than others. If conservatives allow Mr. Zimmerman to be railroaded, we all lose.

We already live in a society where it can be dangerous to say anything a person of color might deem to find offensive. This incident is making that even more dangerous.

Thank you! I think many people would do the same thing if they thought something suspicious was going on in their neighborhood. I’ve stopped a few teens in my neighborhood doing stupid stuff. Maybe there’s something about a small feisty woman that’s intimidating.

A twitter message, allegedly sent by Trayvon’s older brother, suggests Trayvon was suspended for assaulting a bus driver.

Assualt or drugs..... Hopefully the facts will come out after the Grand Jury hearing.

From an article in the Orlando Sentinel

Snip
Trayvon was visiting his father’s fiancée, who lived there. He had been suspended from school in Miami after being found with an empty marijuana baggie. Miami schools have a zero-tolerance policy for drug possession.

Martin did not go out looking for Zimmerman. Zimmerman went looking for Martin.

Well, at least he was doing his job instead of sitting at Dunkin Donuts. Since the media has reported that Mr. Zimmerman had found it necessary to place 60 calls to police (over a several year period) reveals that

(1) there was a lot of crime going on

(2) Mr. Zimmerman was out there doing his job.

All Mr. Martin had to do was use the cell phone he was talking to his girlfriend on to call the police.

Actually, quite the converse. After he was killed and the MSM and Obama’s self-serving “son” comment, coupled with perfunctory black leader outrage and bias, he was transformed from a tatted 17 year old in a hoodie in a neighborhood he probably was in up to no good, he has been transformed into a sweet 12 year old - while the “White hispanic” killer has been perped out with orange jumpsuit pictures all round...nope, no bias or manipulation here.

I know. I have some very gullible facebook “friends” who are off the rails on this thing. One even suggests that this was “premeditated murder”. Oh really? Based on WHAT? I have tried to interject some objectivity into the conversation- including that Zimmerman is hispanic, but was told because I am a white Christian, I really have no say in it.

But THEY—also white Christians—can convict this man based on the media’s lies and distortions. I left them to their “I am a better Christian because I support the poor black people and believe white gun-owners are basically racists” tripe. UGH.

So very interesting to see the changes in this kid’s face over the years. The early photos of him do show a sweet-looking kid. Somewhere he went wrong. I’ve always wondered what was going on with his parents...

Yaelle: I always love reading your posts so I’m pretty shocked that you are coming to this story from this strange angle. As I said to you on a previous thread, if Zimmerman said anything at all (debatable), he said “goon” not “coon.” Now I could be wrong about this but you don’t know the facts either.

If everything that is being printed is true, Zimmerman read Martin’s body language pretty accurately and decided to follow him in his capacity as a volunteer watch. He may very well have stopped this kid from committing a crime. We don’t know that, of course, but it is a possibility.
